Licence to Skill
[Intro - Durrty Goodz]
Hello? Yeah hello there, excuse me
I wonder if you can help me, umm
I've got a meeting today with the MD
My name's Durrty Doggz, yeah
Shall I just sign in there, yeah?
Ok, do you know what floor it's gonna be on?
Oh what the top floor yeah? Top floor yeah?
Aight, cheers mate, yeah
Aight, cheers
[Verse 1 - Durrty Goodz]
I was in the record label's elevator on the way to the top
I got up to the 13th floor, then the lift got stuck
I was trapped, (shit) now the only way for me to get loose
Was to go through the roof, so I'm standing on the top of the lift
But check this, I can't believe what I saw, a secret floor
With a room and the sign said "Collie" on the door
But it's what was going on inside that was raw
So I got down, got low, creeping, got closer, saw a board room meeting
I couldn't see the face of the guy that was speaking
But instincts are telling me, it's Mr. Bigs
He was smoking a fag, stroking a cat (Hahahaha)
With an intricate plot to program the kids
Discussing not to sign all the good talent
But don't ever put 'em out and control the biz
Now I'm doing all sorts of ninja maneuvers
Just to hear the talk and I heard them
He said the first step of the plan
Is bringing success by calling black music urban
The UnRealistic Black Artist Network
He said "Let's make a toast 'fore we sign the next jerk
His name's Durrty Doggz and he's got potential
So it's essential we get smoke credentials"
They were burning candles I was speed cus I couldn't get no bars on my phone
And don't get on my contacts
Roll like a spiritual comeback
So I had to change my name up to Durrty Goodz on the contract
(Run, Run) Is what brain said
But the heart said get 'im (Blast)
So don't make 'em kill me, but I'll go to prison
And most of the youtes won't see the vision
So I gotta accomplish the mission
[Hook - Durrty Goodz]
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
I gotta tell you what the majors have been on
So we do it like
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
Before the UK music scene's gone
[Verse 2 - Durrty Goodz]
I'm in a rush can't panic and feet acrobatic
Got a view and I would say the man was satanic
I was sweating from the heat, but I heard there was speech
Now I got to find a way back out to the streets
Cus these are faces I've seen, like Robbie the black lawyer
Tommy Botticelli, the other guy days from semi with a belly
They were watching Ross Kemp with a sat-man on the telly
I felt like to bun him, but it's best goods not
Cus these were the guys that got Westwood shot
With Logan or Cameo fightin for a spot
But the plan's to seperate grime, dubstep and hip-hop
They say they're gonna keep man catchin 'em whiley
And while we doin that, they'll be catchin 'em slyly
I gotta escape and get busy
Cus these are the same horsemen that's been chasin Dizzee
[Hook - Durrty Goodz]
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
I gotta tell you what the majors have been on
So we do it like
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
Before the UK music scene's gone
[Verse 3 - Durrty Goodz]
Now I gotta get to my pro tools at (?) headquaters
Cus these man'll eat me for starters
They say they've "got Lamar singing like he's Frank Sinatra"
So we forget about Afrika Bambaataa
They say we "get the top DJs in UK"
Put 'em on digital airways
Call it 1xtra make 'em think it's Radio 1
Believe I'm on a trip 'til the radio's gone
They say they've "took over BBC and they
Spreadin' a virus called MP3s"
So you don't run to the store
You download for free
So you don't invest into your own MCs
They're shuttin down clubs
Cus you grime men are warrin'
They're gonna pull the plug on the rewind forum
They've got business issues
And they plan to put it on TV and call it "Jizzy Tissue"
Bare face actin' upon heads through the staircase
Walkin' through the fire it was something casual
Got a must to tell people what I'd heard
That they're gonna want Chano on two new channels(?)
And I got past reception
And as I left the building my phone got reception
And a message from a private number
And the text on the screen said "Take Back the Scene"
[Hook x2 - Durrty Goodz]
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
I gotta tell you what the majors have been on
So we do it like
Ring ding a ding ding, ring ding dig a dig a dong dong
It's Durrty Goodz on a mission like James Bond
Before the UK music scene's gone
And I'm out
[Outro]
